We have taken care to ensure the accuracy of all information contained in our web-site, but nothing on the web-site shall be treated as a term or condition of this Contract.  The client should determine his/her own needs, requirements and expectations when selecting this property.  We shall not be liable with regard to any difference of opinion as to the condition or quality of the properties advertised.

The client acknowledges to be a member of the travelling party and shall pay a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total price for the rental property prior to issuance of the Confirmation Letter.  The balance of the contract price is due a minimum of 56 days prior to the rental date.  If a booking is made within 56 days of the rental date, the entire contract price is due at the time of booking.  If a deposit, the full contract price, or any proration thereof is not paid within the above times, we shall treat the contract as terminated and as a cancellation charge retain all deposits paid by the client and/or be entitled to additional cancellation charges as in paragraph 7.  If payment is by credit card only the Client’s credit card can be used for all payments.  Final payments are confirmed by the Client’s own bank or credit card statement.

Contract may be modified or cancelled at any time in any case where it is necessary to do so as a result of a force majeure or any other occurrence outside of the control of the property owner.  We will assist the Client in making a new booking.  In the event a new booking is not possible we will provide a full refund of monies paid for the cancelled contract.

We regret that it is not permitted to bring animals into the property.

Including the Client, the number of guests lodging at any one time cannot exceed the total party size specified in the Confirmation Letter.  Failure to comply may result in additional guests being turned away and/or the entire party may be subject to eviction at their own expense.  Unless otherwise stated on our web-site, one child under 2 years of age whose bedding is provided by the Client is not counted as part of the total party size.

 

11.  CHILD/INFANT SAFETY

Clients are recommended to provide their own portable crib/cot or bassinet. Any such equipment found at a rental property may not conform to common safety standards.  Client uses at their own risk.  Cot bedding is not provided, clients should provide their own.

A security deposit in Euro/GBP of GBP 200 or EUR 200 is payable upon arrival at the property.  The Client is responsible for ensuring that the property is left upon departure in the same condition of cleanliness and repair, including items such as kitchen equipment, crockery and glasses, as upon arrival and that all trash has been removed.  Any loss or damage to the property, its fixtures or fittings will be deducted by the Keyholder from the security deposit.  The Client is responsible for any damages exceeding the amount of the security deposit. Locally payable items or services may be deducted from the security deposit.  On the day of departure, it is the Client’s responsibility to obtain an accounting of the deposit and collect the unused portion.

 

18.  ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIMES

Unlike hotels, arrival and departure times are fixed appointments.  Clients must arrive at the rental property no earlier than 3.30 pm and no later than 7pm (unless arranged in advance with the owner) on the date specified in the Confirmation Letter.  Arrivals outside these times may result in waiting charges and delayed or denied admittance.  In such cases, Clients must seek alternate lodging at their own expense until a new appointment can be set with the Keyholder.  The property  must be vacated by 10am on the date specified in the Confirmation Letter.  For departures prior to 9am an appointment should be set with the Keyholder.

 

19.  COMPLAINTS

Although every effort is made to maintain rental properties in good order, wear and tear is unavoidable.  Thus damaged furnishings, appliances or fixtures may be replaced.  Electrical, heating and plumbing installations may occasionally need repair.  Upon arrival, the Client must inspect the rental property.  Should a problem relating to the property not be quickly remedied, the Client agrees to immediately notify the Keyholder and to remain at the property while allowing the Keyholder sufficient time to resolve the situation.  In the unlikely event that we can neither rectify the problem the Client shall accept a refund not in excess of the unused portion of the rental.  Vacating a property without authorisation from us and/or failure to accept the good faith remedies offered by us during the rental period will void any claim thereafter.  Disturbances or noise caused by third parties outside of the rental property are beyond the control and liability of the Keyholder/Owner.  Complaints raised after the rental period will not be considered.

 

20.  LIABILITY

We shall not be liable for any accident which may occur relating to this Contract and/or the rental property which is the subject of this Contract; or for any injury, damage or loss whatsoever or however caused, except insofar as the injury, damage or loss is caused by the direct negligence of the Owner.

 

21.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The Owner and the Client expressly agree that all disputes arising out of this Contract and not administratively resolved by us shall be resolved applying English law to the exclusion of all other courts and jurisdictions.  We must receive notice of any dispute in writing.

 

22.  ACCEPTANCE

The Client making the booking and all members of the travelling party agree to accept and abide by the terms and conditions of this contract.
